About This Item
Edinburgh: Mainstream, 2009. Very slight creasing to edges of unclipped dustwrapper, otherwise a good clean tight copy of this hard-cover book.. Looks at British boys comics from the late nineteenth century up to the late 1970s, specifically at those which were mainly or solely war comics, from Boys Own and Chums, through Wizard, Hotspur and Victor, to Warlord and Action, among others. A heavy book, weighing over 1kg, so extra postage would be required from buyers outside the UK. 220pp plus 35pp of old comic stories, colour and b&w illustration throughout.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Good/Good. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
